A `Bad Writer' Bites Back talks about a relatively small journal that has gained public attention over the past few years just by showcasing difficult sentences that will challenge the reader. In result, the journal philosophy and literature has been seen by its readers as the arbiter of good prose, it earned its name by its common readers who are scholars who are familiar with controversial topics and their relation to language and politics. Judith then explains how common sense “works” or at least her point of view on it, she gives an example of how before it was common sense for a white man to own a slave, which today would be unthinkable. She also stated how some people think it would be common sense to protect gay couples against discrimination while in the other hand another group of people wouldn’t see that as common sense or even accept it as a result after reading these examples we can see that common sense is perhaps not so common.
